Still struggling to face my emotions.. an irreparable numbness in my heart . You are the one who made me believe in love, the power of it . You taught me how a simple mathematical equation can decipher the meaning of life and I promise you that I learnt from you every day. I will never come to terms with you not being here anymore. I know you’re in a much more peaceful place now. The moon, the stars, the galaxies would’ve welcomed “the greatest physicist “with open arms . Full of empathy and joy, you could lighten up a shooting star - now, you are one . I will wait for you my shooting star and make a wish to bring you back to me. You were everything a beautiful person could be, the greatest wonder that the world has seen . My words are incapable of expressing the love we have and I guess you truly meant it when you said it is beyond both of us. You loved everything with an open heart, and now you’ve shown me that our love is indeed exponential. Be in peace Sushi. 30 days of losing you but a lifetime of loving you.... Eternally connected To infinity and beyond

In her long Instagram post, shared with throwback pictures of her with Sushant, Rhea wrote, “ You are the one who made me believe in love, the power of it."

“You were everything a beautiful person could be, the greatest wonder that the world has seen. My words are incapable of expressing the love we have and I guess you truly meant it when you said it is beyond both of us... 30 days of losing you but a lifetime of loving you.”  Thus she ends the note adding an emotional message, “Eternally connected, To infinity and beyond.” Rumour had it that the couple was going to marry in November of this year.

Trolls on Social Media

Both Ankita Lokhande and Rhea Chakraborty’s posts have gone viral on social media. There are people who sympathised with their posts and feelings, while others have trolled them for being fake and ignorant of what Sushant was going through.

"Wish people express all this and much more when their dear ones are still alive & kicking !" wrote a user on Twitter.

"It's been a month today for #SushantSinghRajput Sir, Not even one of them came out in support for him! The stars have fallen!! It's Really sad. Now they will tweet that it's been a month you're gone and fake sympathy."

Ankita is being trolled for her alleged break up with Sushant and not speaking up for him.

"Can you please now stand up and talk about Sushant’s murder? Can you please raise your voice for CBI investigation? You know that whatever happened to him was wrong so please take a stand!" wrote another user.

While Rhea's emotional post is being trolled as "drama", "fake sympathy" and "pretentious".  Some Twitterati who allege that Sushant was murdered blame Rhea for being involved in it. Some have even compared the two actresses’ post and judged them on their ways of expressing grief.

"Rhea needed to post pictures with Sush and a caption to gain sympathy. Whereas Ankita knew Sush was god’s child, he loved worshiping god!" wrote a Twitterati.

In response to these trolls, some users have defended Rhea and Ankita's posts.

"These women are going through their own grief and that needs to be respected.. there is no need to bully them. Please Focus on #SushantSingh and pray that justice is served." wrote a user on Twitter

"I humbly request everyone out there to not write anything which may hurt #Ankitalokhande. Please try understanding her situation. She is with us in remembering #SSR. Let's respect her privacy, her personal life. Hope you will understand."

Reportedly, Sushant was found dead in his apartment on June 14, 2020. It was being alleged that he was battling with depression for the past six months and died by suicide. The Bandra police are investigating the case from all the possible angles and have recorded statements of around 29 people, which include Bollywood celebrities like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Shekhar Kapoor, Sanjana Sanghi, Mukesh Chhabra and others.
